These
activities provide direct services or assistance to homeless
persons and families to help them stabilize their housing
situations and work to move them into permanent housing.
Activities include case management, counseling, special
transportation, medical or food assistance, or the provision of
employment assistance. Activities address the service components
of Objective N in the Five-Year Plan and generally serve
households with 30% or less of the area median income.

The
Commission will fund proposals which
strengthen the area's continuum of care for homeless people,
which prevent homelessness, or which move people into more stable or permanent
living arrangements.
